Rumors you say...

Lesnar lined up as Couture’s welcome back to the UFC

When Randy Couture decided to leave the UFC under a storm of controversy, he stated that only one fight made sense to close out his glittering career, a fight with the Russian star, Fedor Emelianenko. It would appear however that a new target has appeared on his radar and an announcement could be made as early as UFC 88 weekend.

That target seems to be former pro-wrestler, Brock Lesnar, who is fresh off an impressive display against Heath Herring at UFC 87. With Nogueira tied up with a clash against Mir in December and other UFC heavyweights not possessing the star power or interest to tempt Couture back to action, the UFC have turned to Lesnar to put together a fight that could smash every past event record.

Let’s put this into perspective. Lesnar’s PPV’s draw massive viewing figures even in his early mma career, drawing the pro-wrestling fans interested in seeing a former favourite compete. On top of that, the die hard mma fans would be desperate to see Couture back in action after over a year away and all of this would enable them to pay Couture the kind of money he seems to be seeking. In Portland Oregon, they also have the perfect venue, a 20,000+ arena, The Rose Garden, which could bare witness to one of the biggest fights in UFC history.

As we exclusively brought to you yesterday, Randy Couture is in talks with the UFC about a possible return to action, seeing out his four fight contract he signed when he came out of retirement to capture the heavyweight title. He has also begun training back at Xtreme Couture in Las Vegas in preparation for an upcoming fight rumoured to be in Portland Oregon at UFC 91.

it's to early. Lesner needs a few more fights, they are definately moving him along to quickly. I think he has potential to be great but let him fight kongo or mir. couture should take mirs spot on the new tuf. and fight nogeria at the end of it. Nog is the interim champ anyway it's my understanding that Couture gets an automatic title unification match. Then maybe let lesner gets the winner of couture/nog.

yeah but we want to see *Randy*

This isn't about Lesner - its about Couture.

Who does he fight *now* ?

I say - bring it on!

I still wanna see couture fight Big Nog. Then give Lesner a shot after he beats kongo
